Jarrod took off before I could get pics of his car. Maybe he can post them

*shrugs* just a painted stock one no?

If that's just painted you did a hell of a job!

Me and Jarrod are going to make are own spark plug wire covers then it should look way nicer..

How you making those covers? Please share :D

now thats top secret.. :P

how long did that take you in total? did you use a new gasket on there?

good work.

There was no gasket under the vavle cover. I popped it off and there was nothing. Was kinda surprised. Oh well. I dont have oil shooting out every where yet LOL. Let alone the fact I forgot to cross bolt them down (stupid me). What breaks can be fixed :D

nice man, good work... have fun at the show! :D

I was thinking of doing the same thing with my valve cover. I have all this blue paint left over from the calibers and drums maybe ill just use that.

Jason, what kinda paint did you use?

I used a high temp aluminum/silver engine paint as a base then used blue metal cast paint over that..

Did you paint your Steeda intake also? The color match is like perfect if you didn't. Awesome job....

Nope. I didnt touch the intake

WTF???? There was no gasket???? That cannot be!!!!

Some emgines don't have valve cover gaskets, never knew the zetec had that :unsure: Hmm cool :)

its a rubber gasket stays on the valve cover....

Sorry Jason but I had to do the same mod. I just painted mine Inferno Red (same colour as the 2005 Dodge Magnum) but it's not dry enough yet to put it back on. Here's some pics!
